About this Event

Drummer, composer, and bandleader JACOB WENDT has a unique sound; balanced, supportive, and interactive, with a driving energy that serves the music while leaving space for others to speak — he is an authoritative yet never intrusive player. Originally from Sonoma County, his original ensembles have headlined major venues across Northern and Southern California including Blue Whale, Dizzy’s, Yoshi’s, The Fillmore Jazz Festival, Catalina’s Bar & Grille, Campus JAX, and The Grape. To date he has released one album as a leader (Jacob Wendt Quartet, 2011), another as co-leader (Carter-White-Wendt, 2013), and a collection of original compositions (Jacob Wendt Sextet: Live at the Blue Whale, 2020). His critically acclaimed new album, Silver Street (Hayden Records) is a classic hardbop quintet project in the spirit of Blue Note Records during the 1950’s & 60’s. Already dubed "an instant jazz classic," the album features all original compositions by Wendt, influenced by jazz greats such as Horace Silver, Sonny Clark, Lee Morgan, Wayne Shorter, and Hank Mobley. With the entire first limited-edition pressing of 1,035 copies having already sold out, the album is scheduled for rerelease with a second pressing available late July 2025. It is available exclusively as a vinyl LP and as a Bandcamp digital download – 100% artist friendly and with no major streaming platform participation.

Personnel:Jacob Wendt — drums & compositions. Mike Olmos — trumpet.

Patrick Wolff — tenor sax. Matt Clark — piano. David Ewell — bass
